Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide

This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I can't agree with that, but i guess it works at least.
I use firefox as my browser or sometimes seamonkey and konqueror and the problem i have with flash is no sound or messed up sound that hangs with an irritating noise.
Now this is an old bug in flash that never been fixed, but i can restart the browser or go to private browsing (porn mode) and back and it works again.

FYI: I had the same behaviour (64bit flash hang on mouse movement while fullscreen, nvidia proprietary driver) just until yesterday: I built myself a 2.6.34 with con kolivas -ck1 patchset and for the first time (incredible to say, I had lost any hope) it seems to work pretty fine

Con says he started developing again on linux kernel because he read this on xkcd

Hmm... I've just built my own kernel with this patchset. There is a significant fire-up, but on my configuration flash 64-bit still freezes while mooving mouse on full-screened HD movie Luckly, I don't watch movies via flash
But as of now, I got virtualbox running smoother Thx.

Heh, I was not so extreme I use 2000Hz only timer... For now, all seems to work perfectly... The notes about this timer clocks stands, that this "overclocking" may be dangerous for some drivers, so this option is not recomended for production use We see in the future, how it works... Maybe with the next kernel I try some higher option
